As you can see, the resumed lists do not need to immediately follow one another. Some of the lists can even be nested in different levels: as long as they have the wikistyle on their first item, their numbering will continue.

Notes

The recipe uses JavaScript, the browser of the visitor actually keeps track and calculates the numbers.

The wikistyle %list resume% is placed on the first item on all lists that are connected including the first list.

The recipe is not compatible with the wikistyle %item value=X%. Connected/resumed lists should not use that wikistyle, the numbering is automatic.
